Our city’s purchasing policy says we have to go through state approved contracts/vendors before going to other vendors. I was just informed that Staples has a state wide contract, and the sales rep is answering my emails, so they get our business going forward.
Ahhh, yeah. It’s super annoying. The amount of government agencies and districts I deal with that are “contractually obligated to purchase from X company” is grotesque. Especially considering it’s “technically” illegal.
